BOURNEMOUTH, England, April 10 (UPI) -- A British mother, her son in a coma, thought she was saying goodbye to him for the last time -- until he woke up and opened his eyes, observers say.
Nick Verron, 26, was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver during an unprovoked attack last July 4 in coastal Bournemouth, England, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Verron's mother, Sue Vincent, had given permission to doctors to stop the drugs that they believed were keeping her son alive. Instead of dying, Verron started breathing independently, opened his eyes and within weeks was able to sit up and talk again.
Speaking from his wheelchair Friday, Verron said, "There's no medical explanation for what happened to me -- it feels like a miracle," The Daily Telegraph reported.
Jason Teelin, who was 17 at the time of the attack, has been jailed for seven years.

Hey thanks for the comment. Although I don't post too many stories on LL, I found this very interesting as well. Hopefully he can live a normal life yet again.

It is a miracle. I am not a big believer in these but it is...maybe his brain worked around the injury somehow?

OK now, were they drugs that were supposed to keep him a coma? Because that seems extremely likely, and not very impressive.

my pleasure... it's nice to see a positive ( yet oddly a bit frightening ) story ending. Glad to share.

given sufficiant length of time im reasonably sure the human body can recover from all but the most cataclymic injurires, we dont use half our brains, might just take time for the noggin to do a bit of re-wiring. lucky man, and very lucky mother, hope they caught the p.o.s that stabed him.
